In a video posted on TikTok, Lynda entered the toilet and locked the door, causing it to turn opaque.
Speaking on the idea behind the transparent toilet, the lady said it makes it easier for someone on the outside to ascertain if anyone is already using it. Words layered on her video read:
“Unless you lock the doors.
“This allows you to check the cleanliness and whether anyone is using the toilet from the outside.
“The exterior only turns opaque once locked.
“I hope everyone remembers.”

Japan’s high-tech toilets go global
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that Japan’s high-tech toilets were fast becoming global attractions and a must-have in luxury bathrooms worldwide.
A Japanese company, which pioneered the electric bidets it claimed have sparked “a global revolution from wiping to washing”, said that overseas revenue for its toilets has roughly doubled from 100 billion yen ($673 million) in 2012. A senior executive of the company, identified as Shinya Tamura, who oversees international business, told AFP the brand’s growth has been a word-of-mouth success.
The company’s international net sales for housing equipment are currently less than a third of those in Japan. It wants to boost sales in the Americas by 19 percent over two years to “establish a solid position” there and offset less urgent demand in China. But with more people in the market for a squeaky clean bum, US competitors are challenging the Japanese company.
